I am encountering the same problem were you able to fix it? Thanks.

Hi Andrew ,

Yes i have been able to fix this issue . It was causing due to j option set to true in settings.py file . In 32-bit version of mongo db it is disabled by default and its enabled in 64-bit of version . Either you can enable the jornaling (which i have not discovered yet ) or set this option to False in settings .Following are the steps .

Go to /home/fhuser/formhub/formhub/settings.py  at the end of the file you will see j=True in mongo db settings option . Change this to j=False . This should work except when you will try to delete a form , you will get the same error  . Again you will need to edit logger_tools.py and set j=False (i forgot the path of this file , you can see that in stack trace )  . These changes are working atleast for me .Hope this works for you as well .


Thanks,
Muhammad Ali

Thanks, Muhammad!

I hadn't had time to look into it, but I'll update the public VDI file accordingly.

Thank you very much Muhammad! That did solve the issue for me to. Another question, is it taking the ip address a long time to connect to? In my case I have disconnected the internet and have set up a static ip and this is taking a good few minutes to load. I would have thought that setting it up in a offline enviroment (LAN) would be as fast as or faster than a cloud.

Cheers,

Jay.

Hi Andrew ,

It is working fine for me . No it should not take minutes to load . The page should be rendered in secs . There might be some problem with your network . Or may be you have not allocated enough ram and processors to your virtual machine . Try increasing Ram to 2048 MB and atleast 2 processors . Are you using bridge mode or NAT mode in your network settings ? .If you are using bridge mode then virtual machine will be assigned a new local IP from your DHCP . your can check your IP with this command .ifconfig eth0 .

Then try the same ip with another computer attached on the LAN .

Thanks,

Muhammad Ali

Hi Muhammad,

When I am connected to the local wi-fi network it does render in seconds but when I connect it to my router (to create a LAN without internet) it takes much longer and I get the messages of 'waiting for ip' followed by 'resolving hosts'. 

I suspect that the formhub page needs the internet for some of it's features and the page tries to connect to it until it times out, which causes the delay. I am looking around for solutions to maybe disable the dns resolution or reducing the timeout somehow. Hopefully there will be an easy solution.I might also look into ethtools and follow the instruction on this page just in case. http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2007/08/23/vmware-on-ubuntu-linux-with-bridged-network-to-xp/

Thanks for your help!

Hi!!

I had the same issue  today when i was testing formhub.  But what i did instead of modifying any setting or python file, was to enable journaling on mongodb like this:   mongod --dbpath formhub --journal 

Anything wrong with that ?
